Alcoa wheel torque

hal Posted 2021-09-20 12:50 PM (#7866) Subject: Alcoa wheel torque Regular Looking for the recomended torque for Alcoa wheels. My search of the Forum didn't find any results though I'm sure it's certainly 'operator error'. Thanks for any advise.

How are you going to get them that tight ? How are you going to get them loose ? Lou #120 hal Posted 2021-09-21 12:39 PM (#7871 - in reply to #7870) Subject: RE: Alcoa wheel torque Regular Thanks for the link. 450-500 ft lbs looks like the number I was looking for. I use a 3/4" Makita 115 volt impact just for the wheels. It's rated 500 clockwise, 550 counter clockwise. Use it on our Eagle bus for wheel work. At home I can always drag out the 1" IR gun with a 1/2" hose. I run the compressor at 175 lbs so it'll make quick work of most stubborn fasteners. Bit of a man killer though, guess I'm getting old. Thank you again, Hal andy1canada Posted 2021-09-21 3:17 PM (#7872 - in reply to #7866) Subject: Re: Alcoa wheel torque Elite Veteran Location: Victoria, BC. Canada Agreed. These days cordless impact guns are going off the chart with what you can do with them. Example: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Fastening/Impact-... Real happy with mine.
